The Adelaide Show

We've just had a long weekend and many have gorged themselves on all forms of cacao, which begs the question, is there chocolate after Easter? To answer that question, we spend an evening with chocolatier Marcus Booth-Remmers of the Adelaide Hills chocolate cafe with a cult following, known as Red Cacao. This week, the SA Drink Of The Week is a special hot chocolate only available from Red Cacao N...

Shakespeare made the Play Within A Play famous so we are developing that notion into the Show Within A Show. Tonight, WE are the guests of Amelia Veale of the Be The Drop podcast.

This week, the SA Drink Of The Week is Wirra Wirra Church Block, with a...

And, tonight, we try to piece together his life and learn what makes him go where most of us would be too squirmish to tread. We have many liste...

In the history of South Australian cricket, it appears there has been a minor grudge known as Steve Davis vs Andrew Sincock. And even then, it's possible we're overstating it because when Andrew Sincock heard he was about to be interviewed by "the other" Steve Davis, he quipped about the number of times Davis turned down his appeals while bowling. This week, the SA Drink Of The Week is from The Wi...

Family by family. That is how communities are built and it's also how they crumble. We have become so used to building and managing communities at scale, trusting in big business to create jobs and government to mop up when things go wrong, that we can feel isolated and disempowered when we hear that our famous "battlers" are really doing it hard. That's why Family By Family has caught our attenti...

Life as we know it began with a little bang. Well, a big bang, but it was quite little, apparently. Little Bang Brewing Company began as a small operation and just like the acceleration of mass at the beginning of time, it got larger really quickly. The prime movers behind this operation are Fil Kemp and Ryan …. , and they run a brewery and cellar door in Stepney each Friday, Saturday and Sunday b...

They don't have fritz in Sydney, went the old Bank SA ad many years ago. Yes, our humble sausage mix is indeed, South Australian, and therefore has become the most fitting name for a new, SA magazine that has all the offcuts of life in this state mixed and blended together into one, soft, perfumed product that is bound to put a smile on your face, like kids at the family butcher. To sort through t...

South Australia has sung the praises of its musicians while writer, Ann Deslandes, has sung the praises of South Australia from Mexico City, which is why this week's episode is entitled, From music to Mexico. Music SA has organised another successful South Australian Music Awards, packing out the Norwood Concert Hall last Friday night. Steve Davis and Dan Drummond attended and caught up with all t...

This week, we go back to where the Adelaide Show really began, with Steve's introduction to radio in Murray Bridge in the 1980s; a story we'll call Radio 5MU Style. It was a fateful Sunday morning in 1985 when I headed off to Murray Bridge for a 10am job interview with David Bean and Phil McEvoy. Little did I know I would be on air that afternoon for a trial and then back the following Saturday wi...

This week, we are streaming Adelaide theatre to the world from YOU WANNA BIT OF THIS NOW, Michael Allen Productions's live streaming theatre project in Blackwood.

But in the Adelaide Hills, one man is making the theatre and television to local and...
